THE MAGNIFICEN­T SEVEN (M) A cover version of the 1960 western smash hit, which is not quite as good, but has the bonus of Denzel Washington in fine form as leader of a motley crew, ably assisted by Chris Pratt’s wisecracki­ng gun-slinger Josh Faraday. STORKS (G) Storks have stopped delivering babies, they now only deliver parcels. Until someone makes a mistake and it’s red alert central. Some great parts, spoilt by some not-so-great parts. One for the kids. BRIDGET JONES’ BABY (M) Hapless Bridget is now 43 and still has no man and no plan. But after two random trysts — one with long-lost love Mark Darcy, one with dating app billionair­e Jack Quant — her life is turned upside down when she falls pregnant, with no idea who the father is. Plenty of laughs follow the pregnancy and birth. BLAIR WITCH (MA15+) A group of youths head back to those oh-soscary woods that featured in the Blair Witch Project all those years ago to try and find out what really happened. Starts off slow, but picks up when we become sure night is falling for the very last time... THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS (G) A likeable, lightweigh­t animation that gives an insight into what our pets get up to when no one’s home, coupled with a yarn about a needy Jack Russell and clueless Newfoundla­nd who have become separated from their owner. SULLY (M) This relives one of the greatest moments in aviation history, when Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberg­er had to crash-land an Airbus A320 in the middle of the Hudson River. In spitting distance of Manhattan, the plane landed with no fatalities. The film also reveals the ridiculous fight the hero pilot had to clear his name after deviating from his flight path. DON’T BREATHE (MA15+) In the best horror film of the year, three amateur burglars target a rundown house in an abandoned street in Detroit. But the solitary resident, an old blind man with a pile of cash, does not take kindly to unwanted guests and proceeds to make their life a living (barely) hell.
